Introduction: How to Bridge the Gap from Ethics to Practice

Moving from ethics to practice means that decision makers will need to take meaningful actions at the levels of team, organization, industry, and government. The recommendations are meant to increase the reliability, safety, and trustworthiness of HCAI systems by way of governance structures: ● software engineering practices within teams ● Safety culture within organizations through business management strategies ● Trustworthy certification through industry-specific independent oversight efforts ● Regulation by government agencies to ensure fair business practices and public safety. The recommendations are a starting point for discussions that can lead to validated practices, which become widely accepted and then evolve to keep up with technology innovations.
